And the government see a crisis
On an average day in the UK:
3,700 are forced to visit a food bank.
5,400 suffer domestic violence.
4,750 sleep rough on the streets.
4 migrants arrive in boats across the Channel.
Guess which one the government is calling a “crisis”?

...... all of a sudden our youngest Granddaughter, aged 3, asked everybody around the table::
Christmas 2018 been and gone.
Hope you - in those days -
are feeling OK about the events.
The relationships.
I am aware very much
that these past days for many
are not good-news days.
bBlessed as a human.
You are not on your own midst imperfection.
Among celebration imperfection.
Here the Wilsons gathered.
Small numbers compared with the Wilsons
in the North West of England.
We had two bundles of
joy
energy
action
passion
fun and all things expect from children at Christmas.
One of the evenings MrsBeautiful & myself had left the younger guns to dine together.
At the dinner table we had left to our daughters,
their men & the little ones -
all of a sudden our youngest Granddaughter, aged 3, asked everybody around the table::
"if you were a book which book would you be?"
Here she was - asking developmental / communication enhancing questions to all the older members present + her big sister !!
AGED THREE !!
It is also a good question for you to answer or/and ask -
and WHY? you would be that book?
...........and I am always welcoming your own reflections/ANSWERS/feedback to me??
StayBeautiful

Human connection is essential - otherwise we starve to death ...................
“No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less...
Any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know
because I am involved in mankind;
and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
John Donne, Meditation XVII,

Merry Christmas to all and don't drink & drug today
Twas the night before Christmas, we were all in the club,
Enjoying the meeting, instead of the pub;
The ashtrays were clean and the coffee was made,
The Big Books were out, and all had prayed.
When out in the lot, there arose such a clatter,
We jumped up from the table to see what was the matter.
The Chair with his Big Book, and I with my smokes,
Headed outside and found these two blokes.
They came on inside, and sat at the table;
Said that they'd chair, as soon as they're able.
To start with, they said, "It's more than not drinking.
It's doing your best to fix your wrong thinking."
"Think, Think, Think!" and those slogans we used,
Help keep the newcomer from getting confused.
Step 1 is a start, they said we should know,
But after Step 2, we'll be all aglow.
We make a decision when we get to Step 3;
Step 4 is real tough, we all could agree.
Step 5 is the one where we let it all out,
After Steps 6 and 7, we're left with no doubt.
We get to Step 8, and we make our list;
And then with Step 9, we have to persist.
After Step 9, our promises ring true;
We didn't just get that, out of the blue.
After that, it's on with the rest;
We must do each day, to be our best.
They put on their coats and got ready to leave;
A pretty good end, for this Christmas Eve.
As to their names, we only could guess;
I'm pretty sure it was Bill W. and Bob S.
The two men hopped into a '35 Ford,
And as they pulled out, one of them roared:
"We leave this message, for you our brothers:
Trust God, clean house, be of service to others.
And for all of you people, we just want to say:
Merry Christmas to all and don't drink & drug today
